Your accommodation

Accommodation on the island is rustic, laid-back island style, colourful and minimalist in nature. We have limited facilities but it’s everything you need for your time with us, including bunk beds, shared dining areas and study/work areas. Our bathrooms are basic with rainwater showers as we do not have running water. As we are the only accommodation on the island, there is no upgrade currently available. 

 

When you join us on Koh Ach Seh, it’s an opportunity to disconnect from the busy world and experience life to the fullest. We do not have Wi-Fi on the island, but if you do want to stay in touch with friends and family you can purchase a local SIM card to use data. We recommend either “Smart” or the Vietnamese “Viettel” providers.
